The City of Kamloops has contracted BA Dawson Blacktop Ltd. to upgrade the sanitary sewer main on 4th Avenue between Lansdowne Street and Battle Street.

We are advising businesses, residents, and commuters that the phased work is scheduled to begin in July 2025, with completion in spring 2026. Construction is scheduled to occur Monday through Friday, 7:00 am–5:00 pm, with the possibility of some weekend work required.

The project will serve to increase sewer capacity for future building infrastructure and provide utility servicing for the new Kamloops Centre for the Arts facility.

TRAFFIC IMPACTS

Traffic, parking, alley access, and transit will be temporarily impacted within the construction zone on a block-by-block phased basis, as crews move southbound from Lansdowne Street to Battle Street.

Seymour Street to St. Paul Street | September 22-October 28

4th Avenue between Seymour Street to St. Paul Street is currently closed. Paving of that corridor will take place on October 27-28, at which point, the road will re-open.

Seymour Street has now re-opened to traffic.

St. Paul Street to Battle Street | October 29-31

From October 29-31, crews will do some preliminary work between St. Paul Street and Battle Street. 4th Avenue within this corridor will be closed during the days and will re-open in the evenings.

Work for the 2025 construction season will wrap up at the end of October and crews will return in spring 2026 to complete works along 4th Avenue between St. Paul Street to Battle Street.

BUSINESS/RESIDENT IMPACTS

Access for businesses and residents will be maintained, but may be temporarily impacted at times during the work. The project team will maintain close communication with all affected properties regarding impacts such as access, parking, and garbage collection.

During construction, dust control measures will be in place, as heavy vibratory equipment will be used. Pack up fragile items to protect them from damage due to vibration.

Expect heavy truck traffic and noise disruptions from construction equipment.
